Linux Clients and the Monitor Utility

This section is only for Linux clients that use a static IP address. Only perform this procedure if you do not use DHCP and do not have a DSN to resolve named addresses.

When you are monitoring Linux clients using the Pervasive Monitor utility, the client IP address that gets transmitted over the wire originates from the host file. If the system name and IP have not been entered, the it will use the local host's IP address which is 127.0.0.1 (a loopback address).

If this address is changed to the correct IP, or the system's name and IP is placed in the host file on the Linux client, the name will show properly when using the Monitor utility.

Mounting NetWare Volumes

The Linux client only supports mounting using NFS. You cannot use ncpmount to mount your NetWare volumes.

For example:

mount -t nfs nfs_volume local_dir options
